'''''Chloritis''''' is a [genus](/source/genus) of air-breathing [land snail](/source/land_snail)s, [terrestrial](/source/terrestrial_animal) [pulmonate](/source/pulmonate) [gastropod](/source/gastropod) [mollusk](/source/mollusk)s in the subfamily Hadrinae of the family [Camaenidae](/source/Camaenidae).<ref name="WoRMS">MolluscaBase (2018). Chloritis H. Beck, 1837. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=818723 on 2018-12-25</ref>

The genus ''Chloritis'' is restricted to [South-east Asia](/source/South-east_Asia) (from China to [India](/source/List_of_non-marine_molluscs_of_India) and up to New Guinea) with numerous species having usually small distributional ranges.<ref name="Maassen 2009"/>

== Shell description ==
The conchological characters of the species belonging to the genus ''Chloritis'' are the more or less compact shells, the biconcave or a hardly elevated [spire](/source/spire_(mollusc)).<ref name="Maassen 2009"/> The first [whorls](/source/whorl_(mollusc)) are quite narrow, rounded, the [apical](/source/apex_(mollusc)) ones with regularly arranged granules or hair pits.<ref name="Maassen 2009"/> [Last whorl](/source/Last_whorl) is widened suddenly, with a more or less open [umbilicus](/source/umbilicus_(mollusc)).<ref name="Maassen 2009"/> The [aperture](/source/Aperture_(mollusc)) is lunate. The peristome is reflected, connected in most cases by a thin callus.<ref name="Maassen 2009"/>

==Species==
Some researchers divided the genus ''Chloritis'' in a number of rather poorly defined subgenera, or even consider these subgenera as genera.<ref name="Maassen 2009"/> The characters used for these separations are only [shell](/source/gastropod_shell) features; unfortunately from only a few species the anatomy is known.<ref name="Maassen 2009"/> Here the more conservative systematic classification (only one genus ''Chloritis'') is followed as proposed by Vaught (1989).<ref name="Maassen 2009"/><ref>Vaught K. C. (1989). ''A classification of the living Mollusca: i-xii, 1-195.'' American Malacologists, Inc., Melbourne, Florida, United States.</ref>
